If you just look at the facts and don't get all political, its not his fault if people tried to disarm him during
the riot and he killed them and then could walk right by the
police carrying a long gun and not even be stopped.
Irrelevant if a black kid could not get away with that. Speculation anyway.
When did an armed minor killing people in self defense while protecting someone else's property one state over during a riot
become a crime in this country?
Should be legal to come armed to a riot and stand your ground if you only meant to protect.
If police were allowed to respond with greater violence there probably wouldn't even be riots.
For someone who prides themselves on a logical argument this reads rather like a diatribe. But let's examine your "points".
Crossed state lines. You mentioned it twice, so you clearly think it's important. Unfortunately, you included factually incorrect assertions as well, as he did not cross state lines with a weapon. I am left wondering why crossing state lines is important to you, why you think it matters to the facts of the case. This is irrelevant, but I'll include it as it rather points out how nonsensical this point of yours is. He lived in an area of Illinois that is literally right on the border of Wisconsin. Antioch, Illinois is 33 miles from Kenosha. Now, let's say he lived in the part of Wisconsin that is as far away as possible from Kenosha. If he lived in Superior, Wisconsin and traveled to Kenosha that would be 427.7 miles. Would that be more palatable to you? After all he's not crossing state lines, which is apparently a very big deal to you. I'm waiting for someone to try and bring up RICO (which would be the only reason crossing state lines would even be relevant) so hilarity can ensue.
You want to make a case for Rittenhouse being guilty, please do so. But this post just comes across as weak sarcasm, adding nothing to the conversation. You are right about one thing though, it's absolutely not his fault that a mob of rioters tried to attack and disarm him for having the audacity to interfere with their attempts to blow up a gas station.
